did you know?

Thinking about how future events might feel, 'did you know?' is a piece of speculative fiction, that has been made into a performance and a film. The fiction is set in a not too distant future, in which a collective body is deciding whether to continue to exist physically, or relinquish the pain and pleasure of bodily memories, in favour of other forms of consciousness. 'did you know?' wonders what bodily memories we would keep, when we no longer need or have the bodies that generated them.

East Village

A drone inhabited by the mind of a property developer arrives ‘top down’ from above and flies through the newly built residential neighbourhood in East London and gathers data at twilight. During the journey it maps the new utopian space it has built with its mechanical gaze, commenting and interacting with its findings, ‘We want to contain and retain our residents’. This is a place built in a bubble, controlled within the walls of developer’s billboards. Privately owned, East Village is awash with branding and reaffirming smiling faces. Purchase a luxury flat and buy into the services, life style and more. As the drone declares ‘Everything you need is here!’ With Westfield shopping mall on your doorstep, its ever present logo glowing like a beacon of hope, why would you ever want to leave?

The Vision Machine

The Vision Machine was filmed at the factory of SIGMA Corporation, a renowned global brand of lenses for photography and cinema production. Like most such manufacturers, it is based in Japan. Using lenses manufactured by the factory, Young filmed their female employees as they performed their usual tasks on the production, assembly and testing process. No men are featured, and while the piece alludes to the genres of documentary or corporate video, it was filmed and edited to suggest a speculative fiction: a lensmaking factory run (and perhaps owned) by women.
